10 Ways to Improve Someone’s Day
1. Listen
Sometimes people just need to vent. If you get the impression that a friend, family member,
or co-worker has something on their mind, just listen. They will appreciate it.
2. Tell a joke
As E. E. Cummings once said, “the most wasted of all days is one without laughter.” So tell a
joke, even if it’s just to your cat.
3. Buy a friend lunch
If you haven’t seen a friend for a while, taking them out to lunch is a great way to catch up.
4. Lend a good book
Friends and family seem to be forever lending me books that they have read and enjoyed. I
know this makes my day.
5. Compliment
Everybody loves to receive a sincere compliment.
6. Give chocolate
Who doesn’t appreciate chocolate?
7. Smile
A smile can be infectious.
8. Compile a music CD
Brighten someone’s day by burning a compilation of your favourite songs to CD for them.
Check out bedtime-tunes.com, my current favourite site.
9. Make bread
I’ve always been a fan of the expression, “the way to a person’s heart is through their
stomach”.
10. Donate to a charity
You won’t see the person you help, but that’s not really the point, is it?
